The NJCAA DII Men's Basketball Championship Most Valuable Player, Mason Johnson talks about how Randy Casey helped him reach his highest potential as a student-athlete, "Coach Casey has taught me that as a player I need to listen to the message from my coach and not be affected by how the message is delivered because it is coming from a place of love and that he is trying to push me to reach my highest potential."
NJCAA All-American (Third-team), Mikale Stevenson echoed the thoughts of Johnson about the life lessons Coach Randy Casey has taught his players by saying, "(Coach) Casey has taught me and our team to only focus on what we can control and not be affected by outside noise. This is a lesson that can be used on and off the court."
